About

Eau-de-Vie Sydney is an intimate, dimly lit, jazz infused speakeasy created for the discerning bon vivant. Let our amicable host and expert team of bartenders, transport you back to a much forgotten era where great service, cocktails, tommy guns and good times were king.

Eau-de-Vie is a French expression that translates to water of life. Spirits such as French brandy (Eau-de-Vie), whisky, vodka and aquavit from Norway, all take their names from the alchemic notion that spirits were an elixir of life.

Masterclasses

Eau-de-Vie Sydney thoroughly enjoys hosting classes; whether you are looking to hone your knowledge, or just have some fun. These special occasions are great to do with a group of friends or a fun way to encourage team building amongst your staff.

Masterclasses can be held as either part of an evening event in our Whisky Room, or an afternoon event and are fully customisable to suit your event and budget. All sessions are hosted by one of our passionate bartenders.

Strawberry wine, gin, pineapple vinegar and marshmallow syrup. A subtle, delicate, light and fluffy number, kissed by juniper. Like sipping on a cloud.

The Aviator

House made rhubarb and juniper puree shaken up with Beefeater gin and fresh lemon juice. Simple sophistication. Served with a paper plane on a cloud as ‘garnish’.

Smoky Rob Roy

Talisker and Lagavulin single malt whiskies are blended with Cigar infused Ron Zacapa and our house blend of sweet vermouth. Finished with orange bitters and a beechwood smoke, it doesn't get any better than this

Noble Experiment

Our bartenders don gloves and goggles before ladling up liquid nitrogen to serve you this ice-cold martini. Experiment with vermouth, bitters, brine and garnish to make this your very own concoction.

Kitty at the CoCoBongo

Citrus vodka is shaken with passionfruit, elderflower, vanilla and fresh lemon. Served up and finished with a blush of Peychaud’s bitters.

Hollywood Bowl

A solid social sparkler of a punch – Ketel One citrus vodka, Aperol, pink grapefruit, rhubarb and sprigs of rosemary are iced up and garnished with sugar dusted sparkling wine and finished off real fancy. This one’s got all the trimmings fit for a Hollywood starlet.

Espresso Zabaione

This is one fancy espresso cocktail! Vodka, coffee and maple syrup are stirred down with ice. Layered on top is a saffron and vanilla mousse which we freeze with liquid nitrogen to create a frozen cap. Crack through the cap and enjoy the goods.

Eau De Vie Margarita

We’ve taken the liberty to play a little with this classic favourite. Herradura Plata is shaken with fresh lime juice orange curacao and a touch of agave and is served up in a stemmed wine glass with a black pepper and sea salt rim. Finished with a fresh citrus and seasalt aroma trapped within the glass.
